It's crazy how the park rangers stories are always the most articulate and unique

[@user-digitalfarmgirl]

Yes it is isn't it?

[@flamingowithaplottwist6256]

I don't believe these things are becoming more "frequent". I believe that people are just no longer keeping quiet about their experiences. And now its so much easier to share publicly without sharing your identity.

[@klubstompers]

You do know these are all made up bullshit right?

[@MellowJelly]

Do you think Jim D Winters is a real park ranger ? 👁️👄👁️

[@thomasodonnell2187]

Make no mistake, you 3 represent, THE UNAWARE. I think it's funny, that you believe your uneducated opinions. The supernatural is a hugely global, Vest place. And it has no mercy, once you walk right into it. If you haven't, then you are beyond lucky. If you did, you would quickly find out,that your best dignity, has absolutely no value there. When you quickly realize that you have no control, that's when you will learn a level of fear.you have never in your life experienced. Perhaps, if I am very lucky, you will encounter demonic forces. Then you will find out, if you are going to mentally crack open,or, hold on,& really learn to respect the paranormal.

[@flamingowithaplottwist6256]

This of course is fictional Stephen King'ish stuff being a creepypasta story. Case's of missing persons involving murder, cult activities, violent attacks involving first responders in remote areas aren't really talked about. When people talk about grim crime first thought is usually urban/city setting. This story has a good essence of all things involved creepy.

[@Shadowcub69]

Anxiety sucks ,I'm 47 and this just started hitting me this past year and a half while dealing with a 6 1/2 yrs relationship breakup .I never knew what anxiety attacks and panic attacks were until now.I have like you, have found out that listening to these stories help me thru my anxiety and always help me sleep at night while before finding these I would be awake all night pacing my apartment back and forth .

Oh I'm so sorry! I was gonna ask you why you were thanking swampy for giving you anxiety? Then I read the whole comment again. 😊 anxiety is real and I also remember being thankful for any and every form of human connection. Hugs and blessings. Hang in there. You are loved

[@williesimpson6757]

Hugs; Really, anxiety and fear are assaults from deviant forces .. which work through the sin nature inherent in us all, but each person has different types of domination problems, but fear and anxiety is common. It’s not religion, but the spiritual reality is that Christ’s work in the cross allows those who ask Him into their lives for forgiveness of sin, also can call on him in an attitude of dependence to block the sin nature. It’s a growth in grace attitude of dependance thing. Many people want self authority instead of Christ.. so it’s a choice. All blessings to you. Galatians 5:24 Those who belong to Christ have crucified the sin nature.. and it’s effects. Paraphrase

[@juliashenandoah3965]

These readings are absolute awesome! Pure awesomeness, and the eerie ominous music makes these stories twice as good. Please never forget to implement some soundeffects (creepy slow abandoned place or abandoned industrial horror themes similar to the slow rythm tunes played in Silent Hill, or wind brushing through the trees and wolf howls with campfire sounds). Some great sound effects add so much immersion and enhance the mood and atmosphere of the creepy stories to a whole new level.

[@TimelessEssence13]

Thanks for the fun arcing stories, stumbled across this by accident while recovering and quite enjoyed it 😊

[@hopesanddreams2998]

Another note is that from the first one where his whole family goes missing, it’s also connected to the deer heads appearing in the second part. The figures were wearing deer skulls, and deer heads were appearing around that station. He also described the figures as shadowy which correlates to the ladies story. More connections than just the eye. Just saying lol

[@kellisprague7420]

I LOVED this one!!! PLEASE do more like it!! The park rangers r always my fav but i love how u did this one

[@dystopiandeer8212]

The writer probably should have looked into the 2011 tornado that hit Wind Creek and then maybe considered NOT writing that story. It happened again in April. The area has barely recovered from 2011 and last I heard they were still pulling debris out of the lake. For those that don't know, the part of Wind Creek where the park is, is just off Lake Martin. It's only about 50 miles from me.

Not only do I believe that sasquatch exist (personally witnessed) but I also believe there are several species. There are some with short black hair that seem benign and others with longer reddish brown hair that seem aggressive..some live in swamps like the skunk apes of the southern states...some are mountain dwellers like the Pacific North West. Some are white (not albino) like yetti and some that range 10-12 feet while others at 6-7 feet. Some resemble chimpanzee like rock apes of Vietnam some more like gorillas, while others are more orangutan resembling and others still described as wild men that resemble humans with a coat of fur. Also foot shape seems to vary widely between the different species. As for the spike in sightings, I believe that is due to more people in wild places and possibly a growing population...

[@jessicadanna5206]

I’m pretty sure they are just fictional stories because in the beginning credits he credited who wrote the stories I think but I could be wrong. Sadly, nowadays we really can’t tell what’s true and what isn’t and the higher powers seem to like to hide things as best as they can so it doesn’t create mass hysteria and panic but that could also just be my opinion. I’m my opinion I think everything is subjective and it’s really up to us if we believe it or not but again just my opinion I could be totally wrong but hopefully this helps answer your question some! Also side note in almost all of his videos he says allegedly true so who really knows? Stay safe and healthy stranger!
